THE Republicans Of the Legislature should
not forget that not only their party platform
but every consideration and dictate of honor
and intelligence command them to such a re-
organization of the management of the State
institutions as will take them out of partisan
control. They should not permit themselves to
support OF vote for any measure that will not
do this; and they should push their bills to
secure this result at once. The infamies and
crimes of Democratic mismanagement have
been unearthed by Republican investigation;
honorable Democrats aided in it, and dshon-
orable Democrats have been whipped into
silence or unwilling acquiescence. The RENE
dies must be provided by Republican legisla-
ton. Honorable Democrats will aid in its
enactment, and dishonorable Democrats will
be cowed into submission by the force of the
startling revelations made within the past
few days. Now is the time to strike, and to
strike hard, for sound, substantial reformatory
legislation-reform that will reform. Re-
publcans must not be content with any half
way measures.

In the Philadelphia Record, free-trade,
independent, Democratic paper, we find the
following:
1.-THE earning power of capital has decreased
since 1860 from s to per cent, while the
laborers' condition has greatly improved"
This states a fact that is known to every
body who knows enough to know anything
about the condition of the wage working classes
in this country; yet there are demagogues
who, for their own purposes, are constantly
asserting that the condition Of laboring men
is steadily growing worse. Without notable
exception, and in every department of labor
the circumstances surrounding the laborer
are better to-day than they have ever been.
There is no comparison between the condition
of the intelligent and faithful wage worker
to-day with what it was twenty five years ago.

The executive committee of the American
Writers Association met in the City Library
Building, in indianapolis, on last Saturday and
remained in session until late in the evening"
carefully formulating programme for the next
annual meeting, which is to occur on the Goth of
June next. 1t was unanimously voted that the
meeting should be held, as heretofore, in Ply
mouth Chapel, this city, and programme was
adopted which will do away with the misceliane-
GUS reading of prose and verse by all writers who
chose to prepare and deliver such productions
and substitute therefore special papers and dis
cussions upon many themes of great Importance
to writer's, newspaper people and all thoughtful
persons who are interested in literature or in the
educational and moralinterests connected there
with. This change in programme is only car
rying into effect of the original purposes of the
assocation-a thing which it was impossible to
do at the first meetings, which were merely ex-
perimental and formatory. The reading of such
copious floods of verse and prose contributions at
the first two meetings of the association and the
notion that the society was organized to try to
enforce some sort of absurd demands on the part
OF writer's and for purposes of mutual admira-
ton caused the organization and its originators
to be somewhat severely criticised by many per-
sons, who will, doubtless, give it and them their
warmest support now that the action of the COM

the association are not only worthy of commend

lished soon as the assent of the gentlemen
and ladies appointed to read special papers and

GOVERNOR eRAY,s RESPONSIBILITY,


Governor Gray cannot be held blameless in
respect of the abuses now being exposed at
the Insane Hospital and southern prison. If
he has not known for long time that these
abuses existed, he ought to have known it.
Besides being his duty to know it, it was east
er for him to learn the facts than it was for
anybody else. Yet he has never lifted a
flyer nor uttered word in the matter Dur
ing the last campaign the whole State rang
with charges and specifications on the subject,
and the event has proved that the half was
not told. The unerring instinct of the people
led them in the right way, and they admins
tered singing and stunning rebuke to the
party that was responsible for these abuses.
Yet neither then nor since has Governor Gray
done anything indicative of the slightest
interest in the matter An executive with a
proper sense of responsibility, and with the
honor and welfare of the State at heart, would
either have instituted an investigation Of his
own motion or, at least, would have called the
attention of the General Assembly to the mat
ter In his last annual message the Governor
made no reference to abuses in the institu-
tions nor said word indicating the necessity

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

There is but one sentiment amongst the
people of the State in regard to the propriety
and duty of the Legislature to promptly make
very liberal appropriation for the erection of
soldiers monument. Everybody favors it.
Both the House and Senate bills contemplate
the appropriation of 5000, 900, and one bill or
the other should be enacted into law without
delay. The Senate bill has passed that body
and is now pending in the House, and could
be taken up and passed in day. The main
provisions Of the bill are very good. One
amendment however, should be made. The
bill very properly gives the commissioners the
power Of choice as to the design and charac-
ter of the monument. They may eth
er make it monumental shaft a
monumental group, monumental arch, or
memorial hall, Or in short, they may select
from the plans that may be submitted the
design which, in their judgment, is best most
fitting and most appropriate. This is as it
should be- But they are restricted to the site
of the monument. It is limited by the bill
to one spot-Circle Park. The commissioners
ought to have the privilege of locating the
monument upon any unoccupied grounds be-
longing to the State in the city of Indianapo
lis suitable for such purpose, or to avail them
selves of any suitable site that may be donated
by the city or otherwise to the State for such
monument. While the Circle Park if it were
vacant would be admirably adapted in size,
shape and location to one style of monument,
it might, for the very same reasons, be un
| suitable to another style. University Square
is nearly as central in location, and containing
four acres of ground and being quadrilateral in
! shape, would be a more desirable and suitable
location for another style of memorial edifce.
| Again Circle Park was granted by the
| Legislature to the Morton Monumental Asso-
citation as the site of the Morton statue. That
association accepted the grant, erected the
statue, and gave the same to the State which
was accepted by subsequent Legislature.
Circle Park is not suitable for a fitting me-
mortal to our soldiers, unless the Morton
statue should be removed. Under the cir
cumstances, it would not be a graceful thing
for the State to require the removal of the
Morton statue No man, soldier or states
man, was more honored, loved or esteemed
| by the Indiana soldiers whose services the
proposed monument is to commemorate than
was the great war Governor, Oliver P. Nor
ton; and, in fact, the soldiers of Indiana con-
tributed very large part of the funds that
erected his statue. We do not believe they
would be pleased should it be taken down and
put in some other spot. There are other
places in this city just as suitable for the
soldiers monument, without tearing down
the Morton statue. That should stand where
